THE next time you see a $100 bill, have a look at the face on it — Benjamin Franklin, an early American patriot. As early as 1787, he warned of the danger of the Jews. Though I have read widely about the Jews, I have found no truer or more accurate an opinion than that of Franklin. His opinion was also shared by George Washington who became the first president of the United States.
Franklin said: “I agree completely with General Washington that we must protect this young nation from their influence. In every land the Jews have settled, they have depressed the moral level and lowered the degree of commercial honesty. They have remained apart and unassimilated, rejecting every attempt to absorb them and scorning Christianity on which this nation is built. They tried to sabotage it by objecting to its borders and creating a state within a state. They have attempted to wreak economic ruin upon every nation that has tried to challenge them; look at Spain and Portugal. If they are not expelled from these United States by the Constitution within less than a 100 years, they will stream into the country in such numbers that they will rule and destroy us and change the form of government for which we Americans have shed our blood and sacrificed our lives and property.”
Franklin goes on to say in his historic letter to the Continental Congress: “I warn you gentlemen, that if you do not exclude the Jews forever, your children and your children’s children will curse you from their graves. Their ideas will not be those of Americans even if they live among us for 10 generations. The leopard cannot change its spots. The Jews are a danger to this land, and if they are allowed to enter, they will imperil our institutions. They should be excluded by the Constitution.”
This historic proclamation came from a highly educated man that the British Department of Education calls multitalented; he was an artist, a philosopher, an author, a scientist, a diplomat and a leader in the area of civil rights, a scientist and researcher. America did not heed his words and what he said has come true in its entirety both in the US and in Palestine — where clearly the Jews have taken over. But Palestine is merely the beginning; the locusts will spread throughout Arabia.

EXPERTS advise a loser to turn failure into success so as to become the talk of the town, of newspapers and television stations and so finally to become more famous than those who succeed. In the end, many will say that a grand failure is no less important than success and though this does appear “idiotic” or unrealistic, the stories of some “failures” actually prove the point.
A book entitled “The Story of an Appalling Failure” is on sale in Britain. It tells the story of two men who lost $130 million in two companies — one a clothing company and the other an Internet one. They managed within six months to lose 90 million pounds, the combined capital of the two companies. They squandered the money on lavish parties in the name of promoting the companies. They traveled to different countries to attend VIP parties on the same pretext: all this without succeeding in closing a single deal for their clothing company or getting a single client on the Internet. The author of the book had no choice but to tell the story of this failure in a cheerful and sarcastic style, mocking both himself and his partner. The surprise was that the book became a bestseller and they are now in Hollywood to sign a contract giving the studios the rights to turn this failed adventure into a film starring Cameron Diaz!
This is the first example of a successful failure. In the next example, our hero is British journalist Toby Young who recounts the story of his failure as a journalist, including the two years he spent in New York looking for any kind of financially rewarding work. He decided to write a book entitled “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People” which is of course the exact opposite of Dale Carnegie’s book “How to Win Friends and Influence People”. The book was very successful and earned its author a tidy sum. One well-known psychologist explains this phenomenon from the standpoint that in our society, every person values fame and seeks it. If a person who is eccentric or is not talented or is a big failure can — because of these very things — become famous, then society will turn to him just as it would to a successful person. So if you are a failure, don’t despair; the important thing is to fail grandly and to turn this failure into an event that captures people’s attention and brings you fame and perhaps fortune as well.
